position in one stroke, starting slowly and 
gradually quickening the action, but stop¬ 
ping abruptly at “d,” which is practically 
the same position as “a.” The line will 
uncoil itself over the top of the rod and 
straighten out and then fall onto the lawn. 
All these motions must be done as slowly 
as possible; use just sufficient speed to 
make the line swing out behind, and uncoil 
and straighten out in front. Now repeat 
the cycle of motions until the line uncoils 
and straightens out in front of the pupil 
and falls of its own weight on to the lawn. 
Do not keep on repeating; take a short 
rest between each attempt, and at the 
slightest sign of cramp or fatigue in the 
muscles of the hand or forearm, stop at 
once; stick the spear into the ground and 
rest the tired muscles. 
In Fig. 8 are shown the relative posi¬ 
tions of the rod, hand, elbow and shoulder 
joint during the motions shown in Fig. 7. 
I have purposely begun with a very short 
line so that the pupil can see what he is 
doing and correct his faults. When the 
pupil is perfect in his manipulation of the 
short line, he can draw off from the reel 5 
or 6 feet of line, and, holding the line in 
the left hand, repeat the motions of casting, 
releasing the line at the point “b,” Fig. 7. 
As the length of the line thrown increases, 
the motions are quickened, but the pause 
at “c,” Fig. 7, becomes longer.

remains—after one last pole across, above 
Tarpon Lake—but Shark River. We will 
know if this course is open to us, for there 
should be a distinct current—the flow of 
three rivers—Broad, Rogers and Shark. 
That means safety—and the Gulf. Sup¬ 
pose we buckle our belts a bit tighter, 
grin and—make the start.” 
“Sure!” grunted Catlow. 
“I’m game,” added King Jr. 
And the Head of the Expedition was 
immeasurably relieved, for he knew that 
his companions were brave lads, ready to 
endure any hardship and suffering. 
They broke camp in the rain, packed the 
boat, after patching the cut as best they 
could, and started on their Great Adven¬ 
ture. The shallow water and dried con¬ 
dition, coupled with matted saw grass, 
forced them to seek out deeper passages 
between ridges. Mr. King secretly hoped 
they might eventually strike better going 
and, finally, the flow of some of the small, 
unnamed rivers in the neighborhood of 
Harney Inlet. 
Night came, to find them very weary, 
very discouraged, very hungry. They 
spread their tent under the bay trees of 
a friendly hammock—a small one—and 
made themselves as comfortable as they 
could. Just as dusk settled, Catlow shot 
a wood ibis. It was soon baking before 
the fire, and its aroma filled the glade. 
King Jr. carefully saved the beautiful 
skin, wrapping this feathered trophy in a 
piece of paper. He was somewhat of a 
taxidermist and, despite the gravity of the 
situation, found interest in his task. . 
THE LURE THEY FIGHT FOR 
“There was a swirl of the water and I was rewarded by a glimpse of a 
beautiful bronze back. He suddenly appeared on the surface, broadside. Unusual, as they 
generally come up perpendicularly. Continuing-to reel until about fifteen feet from the boat, 
I first noticed a large bass rush for my fish. He passed over and disappeared but soon came 
back to renew the fight. On the fourth charge, he succeeded in hooking himself on the front 
bookfjust as shown in the picture). Then the battlewason. The mere fact that they were pull¬ 
ing against one another on the bait was all that saved my line. The water fairly boiled as 
they rolled over one another. Someexciting time for about fifteen minutes. They weighed 
814 lbs. and 3 lbs.” From the Illinois Sportsman, describing in his own words the catching of 
two bass at one time by J. E. Andrews near Brighton, Ill. The photograph shows how the two 
bass fought for possession of the famous South Bend BASS-ORENO — “the lure they like.”
